Tell us about your Ontario property, your situation, and your funding need. We assess equity, LTV, and lender-fit in minutes.
Your broker structures the mortgage, rate, term, LTV, fees, and exit strategy, matches it to the right lender, and reviews the commitment letter with you before you sign anything.
We coordinate with the lender's lawyer and appraiser. All documentation managed by your broker.
Final approval and funding in 24 to 48 hours once your appraisal and documentation are in place, following your accepted commitment.
From day one, we track your path to better terms and reach out the moment you qualify to move to a lower-cost lender, so your exit happens on schedule instead of by accident.
Ready to see what your file qualifies for?
Start the comparison, or ask a question first.
We compare individual investors, MICs, and private funds across Ontario. More competition means better rates and terms for your deal.
Ontario private lenders weigh your property value, location, and LTV well above your T4 or NOA. Self-employed, CRA arrears, previous bankruptcy: we work to match you with a lender suited to your file.
Private lenders move fast. We've funded deals in as few as 3 business days across the GTA and Ontario.
Whether you need a first charge or a second mortgage behind an existing bank loan, we structure the deal to maximize your equity access.
Every private mortgage includes a clear exit plan from day one. Depending on your situation, that often means a B-lender within about 12 months, with A-lender qualification following as your credit and documentation improve.
We handle bridge loans between properties, construction draw mortgages, and debt consolidation to clear CRA liens, judgments, and consumer proposals.
Toronto condos, GTA homes, rural Ontario acreage, mixed-use, and problem properties. If it's in Ontario and has equity, we can usually find a lender interested in it.
Lender fee (1 to 4%), broker fee (1 to 2%), Ontario legal fees, and appraisal costs, all itemized in writing before you commit.
A licensed broker reviews your deal, structures the right terms, and manages lender communication from inquiry through funding.
Bad credit, self-employment, urgent deadlines, and properties banks won't touch.

Two borrowers can walk into the same lender on the same day and be quoted very differently. These are the inputs that decide which of you gets which number.
A first mortgage carries less risk for the lender, since it gets paid out first if the property sells. Second mortgages and bridge loans price higher to reflect that added risk.
How much you're borrowing against the property's appraised value. Lower LTV means less risk for the lender, and it's the single biggest factor in your rate..
Urban, marketable properties in the GTA and other high-demand areas price better than rural or hard-to-sell property types, since the lender's real security is being able to resell if needed.
A clear, credible plan to refinance out, whether that's rebuilding credit for a B-lender or documenting income for an A-lender, gives the lender confidence and can improve your terms.
A rush closing under 5 business days can carry a premium over a standard timeline, since the lender and legal team are compressing normal due diligence.
Income and credit matter less here, but a clean, complete file and a well-maintained property still move pricing versus a deal with gaps a lender has to price around.
Not sure which tier your file lands in?
That's the first thing we check, before any number is quoted.
We shop private lenders and personally review every file to find the most competitive terms for your exact deal.
Funding timelines depend on the lender, the appraisal and your legal documentation. Your broker confirms a realistic timeline for your file before you proceed.
Every lender fee, broker fee, and cost is itemized in writing before you proceed.
Every deal includes a written exit plan with target timeline and qualifying milestones, and we proactively assess your refinance options as your term approaches its end.
Regulated by the Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario.
Every lender fee, service fee, and ancillary cost is disclosed in writing before you commit.
Get your private mortgage assessment with zero pressure.
Your personal and property information is encrypted and handled with strict confidentiality. Standard analytics and ad tracking may apply; see our privacy policy.
Rate shown with its conditions the term, the qualifying requirements and the lender attached to it, not the number on its own.
Exit timing calculated, not assumed. Before you refinance out, we run your prepayment penalty and new-lender costs against what you'd actually save by exiting early.
Told when staying put wins. If waiting out your current term costs less than breaking it early, that's what we'll tell you.

Answers to common questions about Private Mortgage, from lendsimpl: Ontario's FSRA-licensed mortgage brokerage (#13763).
Have a question we didn't answer?


Our licensed broker team is happy to help.
It makes sense when banks deny you, you need to close fast (3 to 10 days), or your property doesn't fit conventional criteria.
Private mortgage rates in Ontario price by tier, first mortgages price lowest, second mortgages and bridge loans price higher, based on loan-to-value, property type and deal complexity. Rather than one posted number, we compare current pricing across our private lender network for your specific file.
A closing within 24 to 48 hours is possible once your appraisal, legal counsel, and documents are already in place, since appraisal scheduling is usually what takes the longest. If the appraisal still needs to be arranged, standard files typically fund within 3 to 10 business days from there.
Typical fees: lender fee, broker fee, appraisal, and legal fees. All fees are disclosed in writing before you commit.
Yes. Private lenders focus primarily on property equity and LTV rather than credit score or income. Consumer proposals, bankruptcy, CRA arrears, and judgment liens are commonly workable, depending on the specifics of your file.
Most residential and some commercial properties: single-family homes, condos, townhouses, duplexes, triplexes, rural properties, and mixed-use.
Private lenders typically lend up to 75 to 85% of appraised value on a first mortgage. Combined LTV capped at 75 to 80% for second mortgages. Minimum usually $50,000.
Most private mortgages are 6 to 12 months, with 12-month terms being most common.
The plan to refinance out of the private mortgage into lower-cost institutional financing. A typical path for credit-related files: alternative lender around 12 months, A-lender following as credit rebuilds, timeline depends on your starting point and how the debt was resolved.
Yes, you should always have independent legal representation. We can provide referrals to experienced real estate lawyers.
Property details, current mortgage statement if applicable, 2 pieces of government ID, explanation of funding purpose, and property appraisal (we arrange this).
Many include a 3-month interest prepayment penalty. Some lenders offer open or semi-open terms. We negotiate for the most flexible terms available and disclose all conditions upfront.
